How many different types of poetry are there,and how do you use them?

Question

I want to start writing poerty,and I know there so many different styles.But what are they?

Answer 1

You don't think your question is a little wide? It is. In fact, there are so many different styles that it would be impossible to list them all here. What you really should do is read a good anthology of poetry, in order to discover these different styles. Penguin has some good ones (The Penguin Book of English Poetry, or of American Poetry, and numerous others).
